Nursing, Forensic Science, and Physiotherapy could be some options for you to look at.
Check the entry requirements for different courses on their websites. Lots of unis accept Health & Social Care. My daughter is planning to do straight H+SC BTEC at college and do ODP at uni.

But have a think about what course you actually want to do first (and why). Then look at what you need to get in. One of my fellow students did a foundation year at uni to allow her get onto the radiotherapy course, another one did an access to healthcare course after her A-levels. There's lots of routes in these days.

Just had a quick look at the entry requirements of a few diagnostic radiography courses and several accept psychology as the 'science' A level (Cardiff, UWE Bristol,Canterbury) or don't have specific A level requirements (Bangor, Suffolk). There will be others and as @HellomynameisNev has said, you need to check the Entry Requirements section on the course pages on uni websites.
